Manchester United Thread

Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Simple: they were a much better side and we're just plain shite. Seriously, Rio just didn't give a shite ... Dzeko almost got a hat-trick and he was on the pitch like 10 minutes.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Feels like ive woke up from a nightmare where I have been repeatedly kicked in the head, worst day ever :(
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Yes it was a horrible defeat, but we were simply not good enough today. The defence was just a shambles, and the attackers lacked creativity. City parking the bus in the first half didn't help either. Oh well, it can only get better from now on right? Right.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

It was only a matter of time for this man utd team to be got, not as strong in midfield or defense from previous seasons.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Disagree, We had Vidic missing defensively whose one of the best around.

Midfield, yeah were lacking their but that's been the case since the start of 08/09.

we deserved to lose but the worst occurred due to us simply going a man down at the time we did and then sulking/giving up.

Everyone said that last season and we still won the league.

This'll be a massive wake up call for us, we've needed it after the last few weeks. Hopefully getting players back from injury will help, certainly having Vidic back for the defence and having Cleverley/Giggs back in midfield will be good, we needed some creativity because we were controlling it in the first 25 minutes and Ando and Fletch aren't a midfield that can provide that.

Young isn't good enough, too one dimensional like Valencia but Nani isn't on form at the minute either.

We definitely need to look at going back to 4-5-1 for games like this, playing two against City's midfield isn't a great idea.

Should really have been 3-1, the last three goals we'd completely given up and they were ridiculous.

Thank god, someone else talking sense about Young.

really bad player. Dives all the time, like you said very one dimensional, as soon as you close him down he's fucked and can't beat you!

he can cross, but that's really about it.

I'm just off to watch a film. I was thinking "Six And The City" ;)
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

I was watching David De Gea during today's match against City
and I turned to my wife and said, "That's how it should be done love".
My wife turned to me and said, "What do you mean?"
"That's how you keep your legs open when balls are in
your box" ;) :LMAO:



@DagsJT nice one :P
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Saw that coming. Bad timing with the defensive injuries, but man.

5 points back having more or less only played the top 10. Would take that.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

What a debacle...the best thing about that last round was...no other team managed to overtake us! We have to pick up overselves now...we have to,there is no other way.I hope Sir Alex gave everyone a good roasting after the game.Lets move on.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

just noticed, Rooney was 2six yesterday.. :P

but all in all it´s just 3 points..

It wasn't just the 3 points, its the manner of defeat thats really hurt us. Only thing that can make up for this is us lifting the trophy for a 20th time at the end of the season.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Wow - just got back from a weekend away - didn't realise the last 3 goals were all in stoppage time. That makes it slightly more bearable.

Slightly.

Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

:LOL: Can't imagine how Arsenal fans must be feeling after Ferdinand and Rooney made 8-2 jokes in the past. Serves them right.

As for the game, City like have a better player in each position, except maybe two or three. Now that they are working as a team and the confidence this result gives them and Sheikh Mansour's pocket. Good luck getting one back! I really hope you do.

After all the slating about Adam and Suarez going down too easily, it seems Ashley Young goes down as if by magic too! God I hate divers. No matter which team it is but I don't see any United fans in here really slagging him off for doing it. Just makes me chuckle how all fans are so blinkered :)
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

It brings back (horrible) memories of Liverpool's 4-1 win a few years ago...

Did Rio turn up at Wembley for the NFL thing in the end? By the time I got home I couldn't be bothered to look at anything sport related... I'm hoping SAF refused to let him go.

The helicopters f**ked things up for many supporters before & after the game. One of the main car parks was shut off so that they could wait for the Glazers/Rio, so lots of us had to turn back and get to the ground a different way. No signs were put up, just loads of shitty stewards ordering people to cross the road so that they were as far away as possible. Nothing was moving, but didn't realise that being inside 50m or looking at a helicopter could break it...
And after the game, as said car park was shut, no one could get out of the official United car park.

And that's without mentioning the match! All I'll say is:
- I hope Evans never puts on a United shirt again. Balotelli had him beat, so let him go. If he scores we still have 11v11. Idiot.
- the rest of the team should be made to play Aldershot tomorrow, instead of the youngsters.

Anyway, rant over!

Manner of defeat might hurt..but United if something always proved that they can get things right..look at Spain league, where Levante is currently on top, having more points than Barca and Real, while those scored much more goals.. I don´t think City will destroy all teams like this.. I belive yesterday it was bad luck with injury´s for you..bad lineup, even if it´s not possible to criticise someone like your boss..

i belive you will shop for a big fish in January definetly..
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

It sucks to lose like that, no doubt about it, but It wasn't one of those times where it felt like we were leagues apart. Were it not for the sending off, it could of been a different game, it's also quite possible they'd of won anyway, but the sending off really limited our options and we were already 1-0 down.

As Fergie has said, at some point we should of given up on the comeback and gone into damage limitation mode, though it's not in our nature. The more experienced players should of stood up and sorted it out.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Yeah, suddenly everyone thinks City are miles better which isn't the case. City have still got Chelsea (h) and Stoke (a) which we've got through so those 5 points probably gives them a decent cushion we've played harder fixtures so far.

though we can't slip up now as 7 point lead will be difficult to chase.

It's not a new thing with Young, I remember him diving against Rapid Vienna a couple of seasons ago as well as against Montenegro at Wembley. :ROLL:
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Yeah, Young has always like a tumble - remember getting irate with him when we used to play Villa.

Didn't think that was the most notable thing to discuss yesterday though, tbh.

Interesting to see Luis Enrique come out and not only say Suarez doesn't dive, but that United players dive like they're in a swimming pool. I mean good on him for knowing the intellectual level of his audience, but perhaps a man who has accomplished so little in his career should maybe stfu? It's like when Szekekshshsy keep tweeting trash talk, before f*cking up and seeing his team drop out of the top 3.
